Incumbent Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts holds a commanding trader consensus edge in Nebraska's 2026 U.S. Senate race, reflecting his prior gubernatorial success, 2024 special election victory, and deep GOP loyalty in the reliably red state, where Republicans have dominated the seat since 2013. Independent Dan Osborn, a Navy veteran and mechanic who drew 42% against Sen. Deb Fischer in 2024, sustains competitive viability through Nebraska's nonpartisan top-two primary system, which propelled his strong showing and recent Q1 fundraising advantage over Ricketts as of late April. February polls showed them statistically tied, but Ricketts' self-funding capacity and primary challengers' weakness ahead of the May 12 vote reinforce Republican favoritism, while Democrats trail amid weak statewide infrastructure.

A candidate shall be considered to represent a party in the event that he or she is the nominee of the party in question. Candidates other than the Democratic or Republican nominee (e.g., Greens, Libertarian, independent) may be added at a later date.
Candidates who run as independents will not be encompassed by the “Democrat” or “Republican” options regardless of any affiliation they may have with the party.
The resolution source for this market is the Associated Press, Fox News, and NBC. This market will resolve once all three sources call the race for the same candidate.
